Abstract

GARGOLLO ORVANANOS, C. et al. Experience in glomus tumors in the General Hospital "Dr. Gea González" (México): Case report. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2010, vol.36, n.4, pp.369-374. ISSN 1989-2055.

Glomus tumors were described in 1924; they involve vascular, muscle and nerve elements under the nail and can affect vascular supply of the finger tip. It represents 1-2% of hand tumors. Although it is not a common pathology, plastic surgeons must be familiarized to be able to diagnose and treat it properly. We present the experience of glomus tumor in our hand clinic at Hospital Dr. Manuel Gea González, reporting the clinical presentation and the surgical excision. We emphasize the importance of a good exposition of the tumor in the surgery for a complete excision and to avoid recurrences.

Keywords : Hand tumor; Glomus tumor; Surgical treatment.
